Forget using Base/Calc to build complex charts from your data, unless
you have some serious time and coding skills to hand to be able to drive
all of this via scripts and one of LO's UNO interfaces (Python, Basic,
JS, Beanshell, etc).


Look for another reporting solution that integrates chart handling in a
(seemingly) more reliable way :

JReport (very similar to what appears to be available in Base, but
organised in a better way, IMHO :

Pentaho Business Reports (this is the superset of tools to JFreeReport,
the reporting tool used by LO Base)

iReport / JasperReports

The latter enables you to export your report to a multitude of formats,
including ODF, and PDF.
